PICK OF THE WEEK
COMMUNITY SUPPORTED AGRICULTURE
Support a local farmer and enjoy fresh produce all summer
Community Supported Agriculture, or CSAs, offer a way for urban and rural folks to work together towards local food sustainability. Urbanites pay weekly rates; farmers deliver weekly baskets of farm-fresh produce, either to a central facility or sometimes to your door. You can cheerfully eat your way through the best of the growing season, and feel good knowing that you're being friendly both to Gaia and to the local economy.
